Training for a 5k...my shins used to hurt while running on pavement but I got these compression socks and it helped a lot but now my problem is my lungs start killing as I run faster. So I started searching for solutions and found your blog! I think this could be my problem! I really don't focus on my breathing enough when I run. I'm going to try this next time! Thanks so much! :)Josh Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957598468914955634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-72200328747362699722017-01-22T23:12:56.055-05:002017-01-22T23:12:56.055-05:00I am so sorry for your loss.

From what you describe, one of the greatest of his gifts is evidenced in you and your children....faith, or belief in each other. I know he has found great peace at the end of his suffering, and I hope you all find some comfort in that too. I will keep you all in my heart and prayers as you move through this very difficult time of grief and loss.

Another quick way is to Google "Running Coach" and your city/state name. You'll get a list. Then I'd call whoever sounds the best to you based on their website. Most coaches should offer a free consultation so you can meet and discuss your goals and his/her coaching philosophy/style. Then you can decide if it's a good fit.

No matter which brand I used, they left stains on my shirts. Very awkward for a man to look like he has lactation stains. Now, I use 3M medical tape. I can't remember what the package calls it, but it says Transpore on the inside of the roll. Way cheaper than band aids or nipguards. That stuff stays on really well. Never had a problem with it coming off, used it during races up to 50k, which is a long time for someone as slow as me. Quick warning, trim the hair around your nipples first, makes it much easier and less painful to get off.<br /><br />I also really like the 2-in-1 style shorts. Still put Run Guard near the man bits for long runs just to be sure.

Yes, Water is best if you're ru...Hi Ranta Paul,<br />Yes, Water is best if you're running 60 mins or less, but after that you'll begin to deplete your electrolytes which can cause dyhydration and cramping. If you deplete your sodium stores, no matter how much water you're drinking it will just sit in your stomach. Sodium is needed to transport the water molecules out to the body. If you're getting your electrolytes from some other source than sports drink then you can stick with water, but then you also need to make sure you're getting your glycogen refueling elsewhere too.

If you continue to feel tight and light headed, you may have sports induced asthma. I'd recommed seeing your doc and let him know what you've tried and what you're still experiencing. Often if you do have sports induced asthma, the doc will prescribe an inhaler that you use about 20 mins before runnign and it helps to open up the lungs.RunnerDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209079063314051451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-1341830118968391462015-05-06T04:20:32.460-04:002015-05-06T04:20:32.460-04:00I've been jogging for about 6 months and am ex...<br />I've been jogging for about 6 months and am experiencing this "tight lungs" sensation.
